Early Decision
WesternU-College of Pharmacy will be participating in the Early Decision (ED) process through PharmCAS. The Early Decision process is a binding option for applicants who have decided WesternU Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program is their first choice. This is an opportunity for you to secure your seat in the class early. If accepted, you are obligated to accept the offer and will not be permitted to apply to other PharmCAS institutions. If you are not accepted to WesternU through Early Decision, you can apply to other pharmacy schools through the regular PharmCAS admissions cycle.

The application deadline for Early Decision applicants is September 8, 2015. All application materials required by PharmCAS must arrive on or before the September 8th deadline. In addition, WesternU supplemental application and all required documents must also be received on or before September 8, 2015. Admissions decisions will be made by October 24, 2015.
